Is it pilfering possible on a checking account?
I keep very good records of my account on a daily basis. A few months ago, I noticed a discrepancy between my check balance and what the bank was showing by over 200 bucks. I went thru my account, but could not find the error. I just did a reconciliation in my check book to match the bank balance and chalked it up. Now 4 months later, there is another balance discrepancy of close to 300 bucks. I went all the way back to the previous reconciliation and only found one error for approx 14 bucks. WTF?
Could a bank employee be pilfering small amounts from everyone's check account hoping it goes unnoticed? |

I think that was happening to me and others stationed in Germany back in the day? I’d notice five or ten dollars missing from time to time. Not huge amounts but for a lower rank, single GI, it made a difference and some of my friends reported the same. I can’t remember which bank had the contract but maybe BoA?
Hope you get it figured out zeek. Time is money. Five or ten dollars a month might not be worth the time spent trying to figure it out? But two or three hundred would be to me. |

Go to the bank and pull the official records. Compare their accounting to yours. Only one of you is right.

Do you have online banking? I do, and it makes it easy to reconcile my account at any time. In fact, I usually do it a couple of times a week. It sometimes takes literally seconds. It also helps to have your check register in electronic form, a lot easier to manipulate it if you are having trouble figuring out something that isn't adding up.

A Luddite would shun all new technology. The fact he's using a computer means he's a little L luddite (like me). It's like that libertarian thing... Not a matter of rejecting technology on principle, we're just more discriminating

It is entirely possible for somebody to be taking and giving from your account. Decades ago I had a string of times of having thousands of dollars in my account when I should have been broke, and then zero in it when I should have had a couple of thousand. I started checking balances every day at the ATM, and printing a receipt. Then I took them to the branch manager to show the problem. I was told there was no problem. Less than a week later I again had two thousand dollars that wasn't mine show up, so I went inside and withdrew it.
I got panicked messages to come in, and nasty letters saying I over-drafted by 2K. I went back to the manager and asked how I could have possibly withdrawn 2K if I only had 300 bucks in the account. I was told it was theft and I had to pay it back immediately. I told the manager there wasn't a problem and walked out. At the time I had a close friend who actually worked at their international headquarters in San Francisco. My guess was that somebody was transferring funds between accounts the day before interest was paid, and then replacing it into the original account after skimming off the interest paid. My friend worked in the ATM department and took my evidence to the head of security and explained it. The guy thanked her and was shocked to have 3 months worth of every day records to check through. A couple of months later I got a message that I had been right about the transfer scheme, and a number of people had gone to jail. In addition, the manager who blew me off had been fired. I haven't stepped foot into a BOA since then. |
